Objective We aim to assess the accuracy of near infrared autofluorescence in identifying
parathyroid gland during thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Method A systematic literature …

Medicine is in the midst of a technological revolution where conventional practices in health
care are being challenged. The fourth wave, or the digital revolution, is building on the third …

Objective: To evaluate the benefits of probe-based near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF)
parathyroid identification during parathyroidectomy. Background: Intraoperative parathyroid …

Abstract Background and Objective The Food and Drug Administration has cleared a probe‐
based near‐infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection system called PTeye™ as an …

Background Postoperative hypoparathyroidism remains the most frequent complication of
neck endocrine surgery. In order to reduce the incidence of this feared complication, several …

Background Near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection has previously demonstrated
significant potential for real-time parathyroid gland identification. However, the performance …

Background Near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) can guide intraoperative parathyroid
gland (PG) identification. NIRAF detection devices typically rely on imaging and fiber probe …

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a hypercalcemic disorder that occurs when one or
more parathyroid glands produces excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH). PHPT is typically …

Thyroid and parathyroid surgery requires careful dissection around the vascular pedicle of
the parathyroid glands to avoid excessive manipulation of the tissues. If the blood supply to …

Intraoperative PTH monitoring (IOPTH) made minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in
patients with primary HPT possible. However, with the increasing accuracy of preoperative …
